Image
In the image, an androgynous figure works by the light of the Pleiades. Their work is intuitive, guided by a sense of divine inspiration. You too should be working toward your highest purpose. If you don't know what that is, do some investigating. Don't rely on old methods to make discoveries; lean into the burst of new energy that the Star brings into your life.
Healing and Advice
The Star has a positive vibe, even if you're going through a rough time. Old wounds may be brought to the surface to heal, and forgiveness—for you and for others—is possible. Don't waste time perfecting the plan before you start; when the Star arises, lay the road as you go.
Visual Description
A nude woman kneels with one foot in a dark pool and one knee on grassy ground, pouring water from two jugs — one stream flows into the pool and the other spills onto the earth. Above her a large, anthropomorphic eight-pointed star with a face dominates the sky, surrounded by smaller stars and decorative dots. The scene includes rolling hills or mountains in the distance, a tree with a small bird perched nearby, scattered flowers and plants on the meadow, and a bordered frame labeled XVII L'ETOILE at the bottom.
